However, these models happen in real-time and students have to connect at the time of the class. The professor of the Mechanics ofStructures courses noticed about ten years ago that Architecture students were having moreproblems with courses of Structures because their motivation was not very high and they weremissing lectures when they had to deliver a project in courses as Architectural Projects I-V.Students then would come to the tutorials in the office of the professor a few days before thepartial exams in an attempt to catch up with the material and each student had differentrequirements for their reviewing.

The idea of making compact forms of large items was one of them. Putting this incontext of architectural, structural and mechanical engineering, the design of foldable structuresthat can transform from packaged to expanded geometry when launched into space led to thepopularity of retractable and deployable structures.
